[OT] fop-user mailing list FAQ--or lack thereof
This person was having problems with his mailing list stuff (my guess is
that he used a different account to subscribe). I noticed, that there's
no mailing list FAQ. Would whomever has this task (or access to set this
up) e-mail me off-list, so I can provide him/her with the text file
needed to make it happen? I've got a mailing list or two from which I
think I could pilfer^H^H^H^H^H^H piece together the FAQ. ;-p

Mr. Leeds,
I have question.
I have signed up as a user for the fop mailing list.
Yet when I send questions or comments, they are being bounced back
by the mail daemon.
Something like ......
Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
fop-user@xml.apache.org mailing list.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions of the
fop-user@xml.apache.org list.
None available yet.
Am I not signed up ?
How do you use this mailing list ?
Thank you
Ethan

I think forrest is doing this. The underlying XML is correct. I think I saw
something on the forrest mailing list about how to fix this. I'll work on
it. Thanks for pointing out the problem.

You're right, it does. The person e-mailed me directly (don't know
exactly why--perhaps it's my charming wit? ;-p), and in his e-mail, at
the bottom it indicated there was no FAQs available yet. However, I've
since found that there is a fully capable FAQ accessible by sending a
letter to:
fop-user-help
In other words, "Never mind!" ;-p
BTW, one thing I noticed, is that the e-mails shown on the help page are
broken when you click them. The links are written as follows:
<a
href="mailto:fop-user-help.at.xml.apache.org">fop-user-help@xml.apache.org</a>
I understand doing this for "people's" e-mail addresses but it is a bit
cumbersome for listservs... Perhaps there's a script that automatically
messes up e-mails this way, but shouldn't it be turned off for listserv
addresses?

The procedures are outlined at:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html#mailing-lists-general
and
http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html#mailing-lists-fop-user
IIRC, the mail daemon does send an email to the user asking him to confirm
the request. This is to prevent someone from spoofing an email address and
subscribing someone against his will.
